Wigan Athletic hope £3 million is enough to sign Crystal Palace striker Victor Moses.
The Mirror says Moses, 17, is set to hold talks with the Premier League club over the weekend after the Eagles agreed to let him move.
Palace are desperate to raise cash in order to pay a group of former players money they are still owed from their time at the club.
They also owe Bristol City £250,000 as part of the deal which saw Nick Carle move to Selhurst Park last summer.
